No, a police officer cannot issue a warrant for your arrest only a judge or court magistrate can do that.
You cannot be a magistrate simply by being gay.
You will have to be more specific as to what type of warrant you are referring to. The vast majority of bench warrants are issued for the arrest of individuals whom the issuing judge wants presented to court, and cannot be satisfied by specific monetary amounts.
Individual citizens cannot submit requests for search warrants. ONLY law enforcement may do so. It must be based on articulable 'probable cause' and then reduced to writing on an affidavit (i.e.: sets forth the specific reason the warrant should be issued). The affidavit is submitted to a judge or magistrate for review, and if they agree, they sign it and a warrant is issued.
No, a pro tem judge cannot sign a search warrant. Only a judge with the authority to issue search warrants can do so. A pro tem judge is a temporary substitute judge who fills in for a regular judge and has limited authority.
No, you cannot.
A sealed warrant is a warrant that is sealed for the safety of the suspect. It cannot be viewed by the defense. The warrant will not be able to be viewed by the public for 180 days.
It keeps the police from being able to take your property or enter your dwelling indiscriminately. Meaning: under normal circumstances, a police officer cannot just take your property or come inside your house for no reason. He would have to appear before a magistrate and request a search warrant. Normally, courts will not issue a search warrant unless there is a valid reason to do so.
No, a police officer in Texas cannot arrest you solely based on a shoplifting misdemeanor warrant from Florida. Generally, warrants are only valid within the jurisdiction they were issued. However, if the police officer in Texas discovers the warrant during the interaction, they may notify the Florida authorities, who can then take appropriate steps to apprehend you.
No. Warrants must be approved by a judicial officer of some type (i.e.: Justice of The Peace - Magistrate - Judge - etc). This is not to say that law enforcement cannot immediately act when a criminal report or complaint is made to them, if there is sufficient probable cause to make an arrest.
1860Added: Unless the original contributor can supply a reference for their infomration - it should be treated as unconfirmed. Even as far back as the American Revolution the British were issuing versions of the search warrantI strongly believe that the answer to this question cannot accurately be known.
No. "Quashed" means invalidated. If a warrant is invalidated it cannot be used in an arrest.
